Clean Slate

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Nov 28, 2024

Clean Slate.
Thinning.
Thinning
the weeds.
Ancient
gnarly
logic.
Superstition
based.
Mind
muddling.
Trim past
concepts.
Leave
in the
past.
Faulty,
limited
concepts.
Toss
to the
side.
Ancient
philosophical
rhetoric.
Fear based
propaganda.
Gods
on high.
Commanding
adherence.
Earth bound
protagonist.
Demanding
compliance.
Nothing more.
Power.
Only power
ruling the
roost.
Few
controlling
the masses.
Mindless
acceptance.
To what’s
being told,
sold.
Power
and riches
to those
who’d
control.
Charlatans all.
No nothings
claiming
knowledge.
Claiming
wisdom.
Where
none
can be
found.
Nothing!
Wipe
the slate
clean.
Pushing
boundaries.
Think
outside
the box.
